A general election for nine English-language school boards started Friday in Quebec.
More than 295,000 people are currently on the list of electors and voting will start on Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
They plan to elect a new chair for the school board and a commissioner for their school electoral division.
According to a press release, if there’s only one person running for the position, they will be declared as the new elected official.
However, only people on the list of electors of an English-language school board can vote in this election.
Parents whose children are currently enrolled or have graduated from the English-language school board will be eligible to vote as long as they’re on the list of electors.
Residents can request to be entered on the list in their area by contacting the returning officer.
- September 20: start of the election period
- September 24 to 29: filing of nomination papers
- October 15: last day to enter or modify an entry on the list of electors
- October 27: advance polling from 12 to 8 p.m.
- November 3: Election Day, voting from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
All electors on the list will receive an entry notice by mail, and those wishing to be entered on the list or make changes must appear before the board of revisors of their school board.
The last school board election was held on Sept. 26, 2021.
